如果你經常做不可思議的事,他們就會希望你去做不可能的事?!?br />
If you do the incredible often enough, they'll want you to do the impossible."
納粹德國、日本帝國和法西斯意大利在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)開始時都使用了可以隨意摧毀敵方軍艦和商船的快速現(xiàn)代魚雷轟炸機。英國皇家海軍中隊上戰(zhàn)場時配備了“仙女劍魚”號。
Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy began the Second World War with fast, modern torpedo bombers that could devastate enemy warships and merchantmen at will. Britain's Royal Navy squadrons went to war equipped with the Fairey Swordfish.
劍魚號是單翼飛機時代的雙翼飛機,動力不足,火力不足;一件過時的博物館藏品,一件尷尬的事。其工作人員充分預計將從天空。相反,他們放飛了古老的繩袋成為傳奇。
A biplane in an age of monoplanes, the Swordfish was underpowered and undergunned; an obsolete museum piece, an embarrassment. Its crews fully expected to be shot from the skies. Instead, they flew the ancient Stringbag into legend.
